By acquiring the needed knowledge and skills, employees can perform more efficiently and increase the overall productivity of the organization.
Supply of labour needs to be taken into consideration by human resources on a local, national and international scale. Different types of labour have become obsolete, some more scarce and others have become more saturated because of its demand for example service industries have become more demanded whilst mining has become a more scarce trait. This means training has become more of an issue because its important employees has the correct skills especially in an organisation that is not as common locally because employee will not have the appropriate skills. Regionally some industries more popular depending on the area therefore training may not be as demanded.

Most organizations do not follow-up on the benefits of training as regards staff performance. As a result of this they don’t take training and development as an important factor in organizational growth and survival. Most manages do not know how to assess the return on investment in training, nor are they equipped with the necessary management tools to monitor the decision making process of such investment. It has been discovered that training and development budget is the first cut when the organization is faced with difficulties because most of them are of the opinion that investment in the area of training and development is not linked to the bottom line of the business.
